Winter Ant Queen
The American Winter Ant queen (Prenolepis imparis) is in Toronto, Ontario, Canada, on April 23, 2025. Prenolepis imparis, commonly known as the winter ant, false honey ant, or false honeypot ant, is a species of ant in the genus Prenolepis. The species is found in North America, from Canada to Mexico, nesting deep within the ground. Unusual among ants, Prenolepis imparis prefers lower temperatures, including near freezing, and is only active outside the nest during winter and early spring.
